A further object of the invention is the provision of a container of this character, which is simple in its construction, thoroughly reliable and eflicient in operation, light in its structural make-up yet strong, durable and inexpensive to manufacture. With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the accompanying, drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a container constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal or transverse sectional view thereof.

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing. I

.Referring to the drawing in detail, A' designates generally a container built in accordance 5 with the invention andcomprises a body 5 made fromllbrous material, such as relatively still paper, out and folded from asheet form or blank providing opposite side walls 6 and foldable end flaps I, respectively, the latter being with the overlapped portions. that is to say, by visibility through the window,

foldable one upon the other and are sealed adhesively in any desirable manner, being preferable that the'interior and exterior surfaces of the body he wax coated to render the said body liquidproof. One side wall 6 of the body 5 5 is built with folded overlapping portions 8 and 9, respectively, these being adhesively joined with each other at the overlaps thereof and one. of these portions is cut into at H] to provide a window or sight opening which is coextensive with 10 a greater portionof the length of the container and such window being sealed by the use of a transparent strip ll so that visibility may be had from without to within the container.
